2025 6’8 Ashley Sims (Riverdale Baptist) performing well for his school by Patrick O'Brien | Jul 1, 2024 | Featured, News, Recruiting News | 0 comments
2025 6’8 Ashley Sims has been having a strong June, as he has added multiple offers in the last month. The forward from Riverdale Baptist (MD) has been strong in his showings, especially with what he has shown at the DMV Live. Phenom Hoops was intrigued and reached out to him to learn more about his game, his development, his summer so far, and just a little bit about what has been going on in his recruitment. See what he had to say. Summer Ball and Development: “This summer, I think we played well as a team, but we have some kinks to work out as a group. I have been working on my conditioning and getting in better shape, as well as my outside shooting and ball handling.” Game Description: “I would describe my game as versatile. I can play inside and out and bring the ball up and set my team up into an offense.” Latest in his Recruitment: The 6’8 prospect has been having a strong summer and catching a few eyes his way, securing a few offers in the last month. Just in the last month, he has earned six offers that include Chicago State, Loyola, Stonehill, UMBC, Le Moyne, and his latest one coming from Holy Cross. “I’ve recently picked up these offers so I’m still building a relationship with the coaches,” he said. “My latest offer came from Holy Cross, and I am grateful! I spoke with both the associate head coach as well as the head coach. They said they loved my game and wanted to continue to build a relationship.” Outside the recent offers, schools like UMass Lowell, Quinnipiac, Furman, Bucknell, and Towson have all expressed interest his way but have yet to offer. Sims has already taken a visit to UMBC, where he said that the campus and facilities are very nice.

Starting to wonder if/when the Middlesex Magic pipeline will materialize under DP. One of their 2025s just committed to Princeton.

Starting to wonder if/when the Middlesex Magic pipeline will materialize under DP. One of their 2025s just committed to Princeton. there's a reason why so many of his NE recruits are under-recruited. If he can turn things around in a major way, not just PL comp, but be considered a better program than Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Penn, then there might be a semblance of a pipeline. Richmond also gets strong looks.

Before there is more recruiting criticism, let’s see how these freshmen perform

The NE talent is fine year over year, but to be a successful mid major you need to build a team. Frankly the only player I want from Middlesex this year is Quinn. Others might be more talented but he makes us better and is one of a few that becomes a great complementary piece.
We could see this recruiting class take close to 70% of the minutes played, but time will tell.

Verbal Commits reports two more offers to players in the class of '25. Isaiah Langham, a 6'5" guard from Boston who attends Belmont Hill School in the NEPSAC. He has 11 offers. The date of the HC offer was late Feb of this year. The other offer is from yesterday to a 6'7" forward from Bergen Catholic, (NJ), named Declan Wucherpfennig. He has 9 offers. There may be many Langhams in the class of '25 but I am guessing there is only one Wucherpfennig.

Wucherpfennig is German for “scores at will”

His mother must be Irish 3 Declans could be a challenge for DP.

Wucherpfennig is German for “scores at will” If only Mr. E were still around to make sausages out of pronouncing his name.

Before there is more recruiting criticism, let’s see how these freshmen perform Not being "critical" of CP recruiting based on MMagic recruiting. His first year was class was made immensely difficult based on how little time he had once he got here. His current class has lots of hope. I consider Green, Boston the two best recruits in years. I think Feroah will be exactly what we needed to finish the class, a 6-8 PF that can score inside and out and rebound/defend the basket. Richard has received some terrific reviews by posters and a current player. Warren had very strong offers out of HS. Hare from NE is being touted as a really good big that was under-recruited. There's nothing surprising about thinking that turning around the program will enhance our chances of getting some of the better MM talent if that occurs. We've offered a lot of their players in those two classes. With all the freshmen and sophs and newcomers on the roster there's not nearly as many opportunities for the next class so we'll be selective. I don't care where anyone comes from if they fit our needs. I don't like the use of "pipeline" in any sport because they don't hold up over time.

There may be many Langhams in the class of '25 but I am guessing there is only one Wucherpfennig. Langham would be a great get. Big shifty guard that finishes very well with both hands. The recruits DP+ staff are targeting (annd converting) are on an entirely different level than the former staff.

The recruits DP+ staff are targeting (and converting) are on an entirely different level than the former staff. I have seen Wucherpfennig and Loughlin from Don Bosco play a lot as their schools play in Northern NJ. Both are perfect Ivy/Patriot League players with high basketball IQ's with their only detriment being foot speed. DW will be the captain of Bergen Catholic this year, plays the the toughest player on the opposition. Right now he is a little thin but does all the little things to win games. Like wise Loughlin will be the captain of his team and is a little more advanced offensively, has started as a freshman and is a knock down shooter from 25 feet. He has been fed for 3 years by Dylan Harper so he has made a lot of uncontested. shots. He may try to play at a higher level. I think it would be a mistake ( less playing time). By the way when Bergen played Bosco multiple times, DW drew the assignment of covering Harper. KOT72

Great to hear from you- pm, if you have time
As a talent every recruit we have offered is a great get. Which player fits our future needs as a complementary or lead piece? With only one scholarship that decision by the staff will be most critical, and they might not know until October/November who best fills our need
A very bright future

We've had two recruits from the Magic, Batch and Nugent start as freshmen two years in a row. That's something. Batch was at HC before DP. Pretty sure Nugent committed before DP as well. Nugent is a Nelson recruit. So is Singleton. I believe that Williams, Ryan, and Wills were Coach Paulsen's first recruiting class (made under time constraints)

And DP re-recruited Nugent and Singleton as well as the returning players.

Good point, hoops. Of course offering bluechip recruits is good, but it only becomes important when they accept...and then register.
